After we finished filming, we have to used Final Cut Pro to edit and put our clip together. The summary of our storyline was about a teacher talking to a student about her behaviour and attendance. We were given a storyboard where we organised and put our ideas together which include shot types, timing, etc. For the mise-en-scene, we wanted to portray a serious looking teacher and a a rebellious student. Therefore, we had to make the teacher look decent and formal, such as smart clothes for example, a black cardigan. In addition, the student had on tracksuit bottom along with a black hoody.
During filming, we have understand match cuts, shot-reverse-shots, 180 Degree rule, mid shots, close up shots and low angle shots. As we editing our clip, as a group, we have agreed on our strengths and weaknesses.
Because either of us are professional actress, yet we still encouraged each other to do good acting and the camera work. There was a lot of out takes but we managed to pull it together in the end and completed our task. However during editing, we found out that we had made a lot of mistakes. For instance, one of our clips was out of focus and this has taught us to check that the camera is on focused before filming. Furthermore, we had to cut down some of our clips because there were a few gaps between each scenes in order for it to come out properly.
Overall, I think we did a good job because we've managed to concentrate on the task and got it done quickly. On the other hand, I think we could improve more on our editing and also, to work on match cuts in order for it to work smoothly.
